Mashup Score: 3
Working with mammalian retinal cells, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that, unlike most light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) in the retina, one special type uses two different pathways at the same time to transmit electrical “vision” signals to the brain. The work also reveals that such photoreceptors, according to the researchers, may have ancient origins on the evolutionary scale. This and other findings, published Dec 18, in PNAS, “shed scientific as well as literal light” on a

Mashup Score: 5
A Johns Hopkins Children’s Center study of children and youth with diabetes conclude s that so-called autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) diabetic eye exams significantly increase completion rates of screenings designed to prevent potentially blinding diabetes eye diseases (DED). During the exam, pictures are taken of the backs of the eyes without the need to dilate them, and AI is used to provide an immediate result. The study noted that the AI-driven technology used in the exams may close “care

Scientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have identified a protein in the visual system of mice that appears to be key for stabilizing the body’s circadian rhythms by buffering the brain’s response to light. The finding, published Dec. 5 in PLoS Biology, advances efforts to better treat sleep disorders and jet lag, the study authors say. “If circadian rhythms adjusted to every rapid change in illumination, say an eclipse or a very dark and rainy

Mashup Score: 4Johns Hopkins Medicine Scientists Uncover Molecular Link Between Wet and Dry Macular Degeneration - 5 month(s) ago
In the December issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Wilmer Eye Institute researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have found how a molecular pathway — involving oxidative stress, or an imbalance of molecular oxygen in cells, and the protein HIF-1 — contributes to what kind of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) a patient could develop. The leading cause of vision in Americans 60 and older, AMD is a condition that can lead to irreversible retina damage and vision loss. While all

A national, multicenter clinical trial (BMT CTN 1507) of low-dose haploidentical (half-matched) bone marrow transplant to treat severe sickle cell disease found the treatment to be safe and curative for adults with serious sickle cell-related health complications. “Our findings show that matched donors — available to only a minority of patients with sickle cell disease — are no longer required for cure of the disease with allogeneic transplantation,” says Robert Brodsky, M.D., director of hematology at

Mashup Score: 49Study Suggests Serotonin Loss May Contribute to Cognitive Decline in the Early Stages of Alzheimer's Disease - 5 month(s) ago
Comparing PET scans of more than 90 adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say relatively lower levels of the so-called “happiness” chemical, serotonin, in parts of the brain of those with MCI may play a role in memory problems including Alzheimer’s disease. The findings, first published online Sept. 13 in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, lend support to growing evidence that measurable changes in the brain happen in people with mild memory problems
